WVU football's defense gave up 41 points to the Kansas Jayhawks last Saturday. The defense struggled in a few different areas, and it's likely that defensive coordinator Zac Alley realizes that WVU’s schedule does not lighten up for the defense for much of the rest of the season.
Breaking down the rest of the Mountaineer schedule, there are a lot of tough offenses that the defense will have to go up against.:
9-27 vs. Utah
The Utah Utes (3-1) are averaging 453.5 yards per game. That is good for the 32nd place among all FBS teams.
